Using unmanned aerial vehicles (drones) to improve access to blood in low‐ and middle‐income countries: Current challenges and opportunities

open access: yesVox Sanguinis, EarlyView.
Abstract Blood transfusion is life‐saving for patients in emergencies, but low‐ and middle‐income countries (LMICs) often face a severe shortage of banked blood. Establishing blood banks in rural areas presents substantial logistical and economic challenges for many LMICs.

An Engineering Model for Static Yawed Wind Turbines Based on Actuator Line Simulations and Symbolic Regression

open access: yesWind Energy, Volume 29, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Yaw engineering models are commonly used as add‐ons to the industrial blade element momentum (BEM) framework to improve load and power predictions by accounting for the skewed wake effect. However, existing yaw engineering models show noticeable limitations in accurately predicting the induced velocity distribution across the blade span.

The Trajectory and Structural Integrity of Aerially Deployed Manufactured Baits for Canid Control

open access: yesEcological Management &Restoration, Volume 27, Issue 2, May 2026.
ABSTRACT In Australia, poison baits are aerially deployed in remote and inaccessible areas to mitigate invasive animal impacts. Program efficacy and compliance with mandated distance restrictions require accurate bait distribution but deployment accuracy and precision have not been evaluated for Doggone manufactured baits.
